relieve back pain
Ashes asked:


I am 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I feel like my body is falling apart. I’m having nausea, a headache, and contractions (I’m assuming Braxton Hicks) that are really hurting my lower back. Is there any way to relieve this back pain? I feel like I’m being ripped in half.

    Heat, strong counter-pressure or massage, soaking in a warm bath. I personally found strong counter pressure and massage to work best. Like, so strong that hubby’s arms got really tired from pushing so hard.

    Heat – hot water bottle. Just wrap two hand towels around it untill it cools a little. then take off one hand towel. so only one is around it. I’ve heard ppl saying to take a warm bath or shower also. Good Luck and congrats on ur soon to be born baby!

    Throw everyone out of the room including well-meaning significant others, moms, nurses, everyone – - -and meditate alone. Go inward and bear the pain.
